What is the purpose of this page?

This is to give a clear, defined standard for M07 for those of you who need it.

The intent of this is to elevate sentencing for subsequent trips to the brig, to prevent cases where people bounce off the brig over and over without being able to receive a definitive punishment. If your usage of this modifier conflicts with the intent listed above, you're probably misusing it.
